I'm finding the news to be very confusing these days !
First of all they start talking about the dangers of AI, Artificial Insemination. Now they are talking about Al Gore rhythms!
Must be something to do with family planning !

I went to get up earlier and do some miles but weather forecast on the phone showed 90% chance of rain starting between 7 and 8 so got back into bed .

First cuppa went down well
Raining here and it's grey
All this talk about Al does it mean that Paul Simon is doing a comeback?

Morning it is raining here.

Did anyone on here ever own an Emmelle bike ? I'm just curious as to what they were like . I never wanted one as the name put me off !

The company should have got its money back from whatever marketing company they used that suggested that name !

Emmelle Empstead!

It was the initials of the company behind the brand, Moore Large. They sponsored a domestic pro team for the Kelloggs criteriums etc. Looking at pro cycling stats, it had some good riders…

And good morning all, grey but dry here.

Weren't it a play on the the initials of the company that owned them Moore and Large?

Another dry day in prospect by the looks of things and not much wind.
Wind strength and direction play a big part in our lives here.
Pleasant when I was out earlier checking the electricity meters. I notice the standard consumption has risen a bit probably due to having to put lights on earlier. Some days I have to put a reading lamp on by four o'clock to see properly and while I turn off lights not needed some are on till bedtime.

Cutting Peats what.Whatever it is I’ll bet it’s painful 😫😫😫

 

[PeteXXX]

Well, that was a bit damp!!
I love the smell of wet dog in the morning 🐶 ☔ ☔

A very misty start. Back still sore. It's fine once I get moving but getting out of bed was interesting.

Breakfast consumed.

I will be getting my flu jab at 10:30 in the local pharmacy. My company has always offered to pay for it but the email hasn't been sent out this year. I will keep the cash receipt anyway and maybe try to submit it!

I'm partial to a draw hoe.. From memory, it was called a Turea (sp) in foreign climes when I used one daily.
